Amazing Process of Making Hand Carved Candles

In this episode on Tekniq, we will witness master craftsmanship with carving and re-shaping candles in the most creative ways possible.

[@leaper2294]

In the 70's, those were called "dust catchers" because they are too pretty to light and once the dust settles in the folds it was impossible to clean.

[@tammycox9789]

They still are

[@D4NC3Rable]

This made me laugh because this is exactly the experience of owning one of these.

[@kellygold2815]

Gross

[@flamin-yawn]

Everything burns

[@shizzle7642]

😝🤣🤣🤣

[@errwb404]

I'm so glad you actually lit it for us! I'll never understand why people say they wouldn't burn these candles, that's like saying I wish I had an apple tree that never gave me apples. A candle was created to burn, the shame is only if it goes unappreciated.

[@ravenna99]

The ones we made in the 80's/90's now spit wax so there not safe to burn anymore :( battery tea lights are a better way to use them.

[@Omnibushido-]

⁠@@ravenna99 But these ones weren’t made in the 80’s/90’s so it doesn’t exactly apply here lmao

[@ravenna99]

@@Omnibushido- Hence why i said those made in the 80s/90s are not safe to burn :) I'd love to get some newer ones mind I loved making them and i'm pleased they are still being made :)

[@meganpopple9100]

If I recall correctly from years ago watching videos like this, when these candles burn, only the core melts due to the different kinds of wax used. So, if you were to burn one down, you would still have the decorative shell as display. These candles are beautiful to watch being made. I wish that we saw the unedited carving and dipping. It’s a long yet short process that is just so satisfying. And I’ve watched so many of these kinds of videos on repeat that the novelty of each video goes down even though the candles themselves are so gorgeous.

[@Asexual_Individual]

Would that mean that you can refill the cavity with a new wick and wax, or would the new hot wax cause the outside to melt?

[@cathirodrigo2933]

I used to make these as a kid. Yes you can refill them until they fill up with just wax.

[@Platinumpuppy]

Someone gave my Aunt one of these in the 1980’s. She never lit it. In 2016, she died suddenly and one of her son’s lit the candle. It burned about an inch/2.54 cm and would not stay lit or burn anymore.

[@machinebeard1639]

​@@PlatinumpuppyI can't believe your aunt broke the candle. What a jerk.

[@roguejeff1]

In the summer of 1979 I was a young teenager in Rockport, Massachusetts, and I used to stand by the hour & watch a professional chandler making and carving these exact same candle creations at a local tourist storefront near the entrance to Bearskin Neck! I was amazed at the talent of the chandler & wanted to learn the art myself (I failed, of course, as I didn't have the artistic talent needed).

[@sapphirerain70]

A lot of people had these in the 1970’s I wonder why they don’t make them anymore. Very beautiful!

[@jeannerogers7085]

They can be had online.

[@donnamurphy5698]

You can also find the artisans at craft fairs

[@MyEnime]

they make them all the time in like tourist areas

[@epiccollision]

There's still no cure for the dust magnets they become.

[@medicatedmenorah]

There’s a girl in TikTok who’s quite popular. Her family lives in Guernsey and still makes them.

[@amylewis7563]

These could make a comeback if they were all in muted toned. White, beige, gray, gold, silver, etc. I remember having these back in the 80's. Great to watch one made.

[@victoriagreenfield5781]

I’d prefer it with color, that’s just me though

[@donnamurphy5698]

I could watch candles being carved for hours on end. The drippings from the bottom of the candles make the most adorable little mushrooms that you can put a Wick in.

[@angelabowman1614]

I remember dipping my candle at Cedar Point! Then watching them carve it. It was shades of lavender and purple and white and black! 😊

[@user-iq2uw5ow4j]

It's Russia. 8:04 In the lower left corner there is a five-liter bottle of water of the Russian brand "Пилигрим"

[@irinafischer9842]

Боже какая красота! Люблю свечи, но такую прелесть ещё не видела! Молодец,ты мастер своего дела! Желаю дольнейших успехов в твоём творчественом труде. 👍🤩😊

[@marieazrak1951]

I’m not a Campbell person because I’m afraid of fire

[@johnvaluk1401]

Remember these being made and sold in shopping malls at the pop up kiosks in the 70’s

[@NocturnalButterfly]

Beautiful! Definitely brings back memories as a remember my Aunties making these ‘back in the day’ ☺️ Thanks for sharing! 😍🦋

[@mistybollinger3312]

First time ive ever actually seen one of these lit and i almost cried 😢😢 when i was younger we used to go to Helen GA alot and would wath them make these gorgeous candles so obviously we owned several over the years but never lit any of them lol theyre just too pretty to burn!! But this is this first time ive seen these candles in years! I used to see them in certain stores but its just like the dissappeared! Was so happy to see this video and am now subscribed!!

[@breeinatree4811]

I remember they used to have booths in the mall that people would make these candles.

[@XenusMama]

I used to love watching them do this … all over malls in the ‘70’s.

[@michaelripley4528]

Nice job on that beauty💯 Just recalled bieng a boyscout! We Often made candles… At the end when it cooled a little off, we dipped our hands and making stearin hands… First two dips was hot! And rest was just fun! It was in the 80’s So no issues at all, free play! Touching each others faces🤣 So Strange num hands, sometimes we could pull our hands out. And there was a perfect cast😎 We just dumped it back into the warm stearin… Scoutleaders had fun watching our creapy hand-face touch🤣 We sold the candles we made, for summer Camp charity ❤️😊

[@_PuckFutin_]

That 🕯 is so beautiful piece of art. If I had one of those, I would keep it as a souvenir and would never burn it

[@MyEnime]

the middle is a clear wax that burns down so the outside doesnt burn, its still wax but u have to be careful. but u burn it down and when it gets low enough u can put a tealight inside

[@sapphirejade5029]

Seeing these candles being made was so satisfying. I'm happy the candle was lit for us to see its beauty.

[@janicebolosan119]

There use to be this candle shop in San Francisco at Pier 39, I always amazed at how then people cut them into art!! So fascinating to watch!

[@erinmalone2669]

I definitely remember these being very popular back in the 80s. I’m sure every grandma had one.

[@vilmabatista6769]

Aqui no Brasil tinha uma senhora que fabricava vela que "chorarava" colorido. A vela era branca, mas quando acesa escorria em cores diferentes. Sempre quis saber como ela fazia aquilo...

[@anjiharrell6175]

Back in the day you could watch them make these at Cedar Point. I bought one every year I went.

[@nowomennokids641]

In the 80s there was a kiosk at the Bay Fair Mall in San Leandro where they made these. I was amazed, and still am, at the artistry...

[@yotagerlie]

I used to watch them make these at a local fair we had. I always bought one, though they burn odd once you start burning them and the layers kinda fold into one another, beautiful tho

[@scarlet1449Art]

Such beautiful candles I’ve always wanted one but you don’t see them anywhere 😢

[@mrsrimskie5493]

So talented, your candles are exquisite !!! 😊❤

[@karinapaolamonzon4941]

Majestuoso!!!! tus manos crean lazos a través de tu arte.

[@janetveres3316]

I made one of these at a fair as a child. You were given the core, then could dip it yourself in whatever colour waxes you chose. Then handed it over for very quick cutting and shaping. When firm you picked it up and took it home. It was so fun to help make it.

[@Bydet_sdelano]

Супер! И девушка и свеча и процесс. Прекрасно все!

[@jenni5906]

I remember getting these in the 90s in Savannah GA. I loved watching the crafter make them. It was mesmerizing. We did burn them a little and they were so pretty.

[@reneebrady1333]

I had a candle like this in the 90’s, It’s since gone, but now I want one again!

[@lalocaBoricua]

I’d never thought I would love candle making asmr ❤

[@bradc01x]

Seriously. My eyes almost rolled in the back of my head .

[@donniecatalano]

Beautiful! I love these

[@slangkush4204]

i will never look at candles the same anymore, how could you burn that work of art👌nice job..subbed and liked❤️

[@aff77141]

Cause then you have an excuse to get more 😅😅😅😅

[@FranciscoAntonio-rd1eu]

Lindísimo, un arte sin duda.

[@karenritter2574]

Gorgeous masterpiece

[@margaretgould1521]

absolutely beautiful!🥰

[@brianschott8162]

Quite pretty. I remember seeing those many years ago -- 70's per another's comments. I didn't realize they were still being made today.

[@scottsimpey2965]

Beautiful work. What kind of wax do you use for your candles?

[@valerierodriquez304]

Beautiful work you do!😊

[@mariacruzsilvarendon5337]

Hermosas, sus obras de arte 🎨 😁 👍🏻

[@paulsimmons9579]

Very beautiful!

[@Arlo360]

Camera and edit well done.

[@kimdoig6550]

It was one of my “when I get big” dreams to buy one of these candles. I still haven’t

[@katherineh2633]

I love these candles !

[@RichyN25]

Gotta be the worst knife for cutting that wax, Id imagine a coping saw or hacksaw would be much faster, or a big cleaver and a wooden mallet

[@novallasuter5265]

Gorgeous. Bi always wanted to try it. It is not easy.

[@nataliestaheli51602]

So beautiful!!

[@user-qd9no7yg1g]

Шикарное исполнение!!!!молодец.!!!!

Very pretty from start to finish 💜💓💜

[@krackerjack57]

I would love to be able to do that. I have bought a few of them for gifts. Use to be able to get them at the mall.❤️❤️ I bet you love your job. I love your job😁 I want the purple and yellow one.😁 How much do they cost?

[@SouthernArtist77]

It’s a beautiful candle.

[@Mega13471347]

Fantastic 👍😍

[@theoryofpersonality1420]

I miss these so much.

[@Isabella-od2dg]

That candle is beautiful and creative

[@senjo39]

I remember watching these be made at the fabled public mall in my area.

[@BUROfficial236]

Beautiful 🎉 🕯️

[@TravisAnderson-zw1pd]

You need a paper cutter type device for this I see and a food processor work smarter not harder really neat process thou

[@countrygirl102377]

My husband and I had a custom made one for our wedding along with 2 tall candles.

[@kaydublin5164]

Years ago, probably 30 ish, we found these in the Pocono Mountain store in PA.

[@kellwng]

they were very popular in the 1970's, everyone just about had one or two in their homes

[@darlenehoover6577]

I use to watch them make these on the beach in the 70s.

[@donnamanitu8673]

So when it was done being dipped the bottom wasn't smooth so when did she flatten the bottom ?

[@ifly65]

Awesome! There must be a heated wire cutter tool available, instead of cutting your fingers. I used to work at a tactical knife store. Be careful. It looks like Willy Wonka Candy maybe you could make one out of sugar. I remember these from the '70s.

[@redneckhippiefreak]

I used to make these in front of people all day long. Thousands of Tourists walking by.. "Ooooo, Ahhhh.. Thats sooo pretty.." Yup.. Sure is.

[@PadreVuador]

Perfeito

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

I use a four prong chocolate cutter (pick) on my wax slabs, faster, easier on the hands and if it slips you won’t cut yourself so it’s safer

[@MyEnime]

ive found so many of these at goodwill

[@nybsfp7486]

Could a machine ever do this? The first part yes - ideally actually- but the second?

[@ProjectRevoltNow]

Took me 5 minutes to realise the video says Candles and not Candies lol

[@gailcastles7191]

Lol

[@pzelkapzelka4504]

Зажгли! Аж жалко стало

[@olgarullegardin7242]

[@mrbikeman]

Back in the day at the Disneyland hotel. There was a mobile cart with a person making these types of candles.

[@Zarbaft2]

بسیارزیبا وشگفت انگیز

[@LazyKFarmstead]

I cut my big blocks of wax with a big metal putty knife. It has been so much easier than a regular knife.

[@stanthehandyman3719]

I remember making these at Cedar Point in Ohio when I was a kid in the 70's. Never had the patients to dunk the base in more than 20 colors so my candle would be pretty lame...lol

[@joeliopolio1]

So thankful for the shots of her coming into work and hanging her coat…

[@deanneparis8888]

We used to go and watch these be carved at candle shops in Gatlinburg when I was a kid. It was fascinating to watch but once you bought them and got them home they started looking dirty really fast. Dusting them was practically impossible! So if you purchase one go ahead and burn it! Lol

[@ulliquarahyuga7534]

Does it have a scent?

[@user-cw9el6up1r]

ハワイでお土産として10個買った、皆に喜ばれたキャンドルです！

[@EKCTPEMATOP]

Резные свечи 👍👍👍

[@mattg8369]

I make candles as a hobby, and when I get a new block of wax, I just use a hammer to smash the heck out of it, and then weigh from there on out LOL.

[@gentlefieldtheorynerd853]

i found the breathing noises, of the camera person, rather amusing [in the quiet parts of the video] :D

[@user-dp6sl6yk6e]

こう言った作品は ふらりと観光に行って買える物なのか？ 何処で売ってるの？

[@jenniferflynn4948]

People still do this and buy these?!? Well god bless and good luck.

[@Bexinmo]

She seriously needs a better knife to prep her wax with.

[@Sanderly1820]

Heat the blade of your knife and it will cut the wax quicker 😊 woukdnt do it when your carving the candle but just the wax yout gonna melt

[@petrahurbanova1617]

Nadherna precizna práca skoda palit sviečky.

[@jameswest8280]

Beautiful, but I would never light it.

[@atsukorichards1675]

We call this type of candles "Hawaiian Candle" in Japan.

[@gobidaff6813]

Ich würde der dame eine kleine Bandsäge empfehlen. Geht schneller und sicherer die zerteilung der Grundmasse.

[@sharonpayne1862]

They are only dust collectors. I don't see them in stores anymore.

[@frandoopies]

We would buy them at Wicks n' Sticks on long island.

[@katerinathatcher7004]

Any purpose to them?

[@jslute]

Does she have a KZbin channel?
